Background:
Teaching online and cross-discipline teaching are new experiences for many instructors.
Aim:
Our aim was to solicit the experiences of a group of College of Education faculty about teaching medical professionals in an online master's degree in education program.
Method:
We used a focus group approach (eight instructors) to explore and gain a deeper understanding about teaching medical professionals by instructors who are in cross disciplines (e.g., nonmedical backgrounds).
Results:
The data were analyzed using a qualitative thematic analysis approach. Six themes emerged from the instructors' comments about online teaching to medical professionals compared with other students they have taught in a classroom setting.
Conclusion:
This study has implications for online teachers and for those who are planning cross-discipline teaching programs.
